Climategate

What was 'Climategate' about? What was in the stolen emails that seemed to convince sceptics that climate scientists were cheating? And many more questions answered on The Guardian's webpages.

Q&A: 'Climategate'

'In November 2009, over 1,000 private emails between climate change scientists were stolen and published online. The uproar that followed briefly shook the public's faith in global warming science, and prompted investigations that debunked sceptics' allegations that the mails showed the planet wasn't warming. Yet still the scientists have questions to answer,' says Guardian's Damian Carrington.
